Maybe under the hood it is. If so, this is a quite well
hidden prolog implementation detail.
Trees and other graphs are handled easily in prolog.

using non-data independent references
What do you mean?

lack of complete normalization
What do you mean?

inability to use functions (not function outputs) as
parameters, meta-data

This is simply not true.
The examples you gave were not specific enough.
Maybe the way it is done in prolog (meta-programming)
is not the way you need to go about - but you don't yet
have the facts to judge this.

etc

Hmm. Not much left of this list. Care to elaborate?

It is important to find a good way of stating requirements.
Up to now I don't think you have found it.
